D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS COMMENTS:
Grading permit will be required this new development, if it
disturbs more than one acre. Current ordinance limits the
frontage of this property to one driveway, a variance of the
current ordinance should be sought by this applicant, if
plans are to leave two driveways. There does not exist a
sidewalk on Enmar Drive, construction of the sidewalk is
required by City ordinance. The width of Enmar Drive is a
27 foot curb and gutter street, city ordinance would require
Enmar Drive widened to 18 feet from centerline. Site plan
shows a plan for revised Stormwater detention to account the
increased runoff, applicant should provide a contour map to
show that the runoff from the site does, in fact, go to the
Stormwater detention pond.
